I watched this movie today. Had lots of expectations since this was ranbir + anurag basu. I liked how the narration moved on initially, but lame lyrics ruined it up for me. The concept was good of having a musical movie but lyrics was big turn off.. then coming on to story, wish it was simpler.. didn't understand where it went in second half. Ranbir as usual acted good, there is no doubt about his acting but Movie was really not upto the mark.

Would you post a couple of examples? I watched it with subtitles and was able to follow along, maybe I missed something? I'm always told that true essence gets lost in translation 🥺

Kyu ki tum ho badlucky something

Many were there which slipped out of my mind.

Only area where they could have done better is lyrics and storyline

JJ...I have not seen something like this from Bollywood before. flawed, yes, but watch this move for basu than anything. kya vision hai? either you gonna love it or hate it. bri says chances are you gonna love it. now if you love it come back and throw a kiss, if you hate it, throw a chappal at bri.

Something to cheer about. Never thought RK could command that sort of reactions, sounds like a proper SS atmosphere that😆😆

Is this movie for Kids or Adults?😆

Basu in an interview for JJ said he wanted to make a movie for kids because his daughter came out of Barfi not liking it. He succeeded IMO. Lots of kids with their parents in my show and friends are going with their kids. The difference is this movie can be watched by adults too without feeling like they need to stab their eyes with a fork 😆. So all ages IMO.

tumhe Khana Khake gaana pasand nahi aya? I loves it.

Agree on Bad Lucky it was flat. I agree for a movie of this stature, songs were not that great.

When Arijit started singing Kyunki Tum ho...I felt like he was going to sing, Kyunki Tum hi ho 😆

If I know Amitabh Bhattacharya's tongue in cheek humor, I think he did that deliberately 😆

I was laughing whenever the line began Kyunki Tum ho ...even the beginning tune sounded similar 😆

I posted my review in the movies thread.

IMO, Jagga Jasoos is a fun entertaining family movie that has been ruined by a few elements.

- packing too much narrative into one film

- unsuccessful editing due to the excess in the storyline

- poor transition and execution of the songs

I still enjoyed it. The lack of experience with musicals shows. They took too long in post production and still could not get it right. At how much they spent, they should have hired some experts who had experience with musicals on Broadway or film. The movie should have been broken into shorter chunks and made into a trilogy or series.
